Putting it on the map (or not)

A badly vandalized cemetery brings up the question of whether to map these out-of-the-way places.

When in doubt, go find out: Deardorff Cemetery

It took some extra effort to find a pioneer cemetery tucked away in a grove of trees.

A Gorintō is a beautiful reminder of how we will all return to the elements eventually.

Winter offers a unique opportunity to view the "bones" of mature, picturesque trees.

County tax assessors want their maps to be accurate too.

An unexpected memorial is a reminder of a dark chapter in Pacific Northwest history.

A lovely, historic, well-preserved cemetery well worth visiting.

A lovely remembrance inspires me to lead a fuller life.

Many things pleased me here, but most of all the care and consideration. The Pleasant View Cemetery gets it right!

I won't be able to visit very many of my own relatives in cemeteries. Maybe that's okay.
